Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. 'nuff said.
Setting: This is 02 season.
Here are the ages:
Sora/Tai/Matt- 15
Mimi/Izzy- 14
Joe- 16
Kari/T.K./Davis/Yolei- 13
Scene: The group has just arrived at Mimi's apartment. All their parents have dropped off their clothes, sleeping bags, and pillows, and they're ready for some party fun!
And now, without further ado,
Sleepover Fun: Digi-Destined Style
"Chapter Two: Killing Time Before the Real Fun Begins"
All the DigiDestined gathered around a sofa and some chairs. Mimi and Matt, of course sat in a loveseat, while Yolei and Izzy went to a table and logged into their laptops.
"So, Mimi," Tai began, "what exactly are we going to do at this sleepover party?"
Mimi caught Matt's eye playfully. "Oh, just the usual," she replied casually. "Scary movies, popcorn, goody-goody stuff. But when my parents finally go to sleep, the real fun begins!"
"What do you mean by that?" Sora asked suspiciously.
"Don't worry, Sora," Mimi reassured her, but with a slight mischievous glint in her eye. "It's nothing bad. It'll just probably be a game of Spin the Bottle and Truth or Dare, harmless games like that."
"Yeah, and besides, who isn't up for a game of tonsil hockey in our group?" Matt continued teasingly.
"I'm game!" Davis cried abruptly. "As long as it's Kari I'm kissing, that is!"
"Oh, God...," Kari groaned, a bit disgusted at the thought of kissing Davis. "T.K., Tai, protect me please!"
"Sure, Kari," T.K. promised. Then he whispered to her, "As if I'd ever let him come between us!" Kari kissed him on the cheek. Davis saw this act of love and devotion and turned beet-red , silently fuming with rage and jealousy.
I'll show that stupid E.T. who the man is! Davis thought enviously. And once I steal Kari from him, I'll rub it in his face, just like he's rubbing it in my face right now!
"Uh, Davis, you okay?" asked Yolei, snapping Davis out of his "deep" thought.
"Geez, you are so rude, Yolei!" Davis growled crankily. "I was thinking about something important!"
"You were thinking? That's a first," Yolei replied, her voice positively dripping with sarcasm. And as always, both
began an intense screaming match, and it was often hard for the others to tell which one would win.
"Idiot!"
"Retard!"
"Jerk!"
"Freak!"
"All right, that's enough!" shouted Sora, quelling the two immature teens. "I swear to God, you guys are so
immature!"
"She started it!" Davis defended.
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
Sora threw her hands up in dismay. "I give up!" she exclaimed. "Tai," she asked, turning to him, "were we like this when we were their age?"
"Nope, Sora, we always got along great—"
"—except when your ego got too big and I had to deflate it for you!" Sora interjected teasingly.
"Sure, whatever. You know I rule the school!" Tai joked back.
"Yeah, maybe in your dreams!" she replied coolly.
"That's it! You're going down! No one insults the most popular guy in school!" Tai said assertively, right before tackling Sora to the ground. He began tickling her.
"Tai!" Sora gasped through peals of laughter. "Stop! Aahh! Hahaha!"
"Oh, so you're ticklish, huh? Let's see how much more you can take!" Tai teased. Sora laughed till her sides hurt.
"Come on (gasp) Tai, my stomach's really (wheeze) starting to hurt!" Sora said breathlessly.
"Oh, sorry Sora," He helped her up. "I guess I let things go too far..." He stared at her; she had an devious glint in her eye. Before he could move, Sora tackled him to the ground and began extracting her revenge.
"Ticklish, Tai?" she laughed lightheartedly. "Let's see how much more you can take!"
While Davis and Yolei screamed at each other, and Sora and Tai had their flirtatious "tickling war", Matt and Mimi perfected their plan, Operation Courageous Love. (A/N: I know, I know, it's very lame Ü)
"Okay, so you bought some of that Niagra stuff down at Yolei's parents' convenience store, right?" Matt asked his pink-haired girlfriend.
"Yup! It was sooo embarrassing though. Yolei's mother was, like, 'So this is the famous Mimi our daughter has been telling us about. What can I do for you today?' " Mimi explained. "And then I had to hand her a case of the Niagra! Talk about an uncomfortable moment. I bolted out of there!"
Matt laughed a little. "Well, think of it this way, your sacrifice will work to make Tai and Sora the couple we know they should be. I mean- just look at them," he pointed over to the area where Tai and Sora were rolling on the ground, wrestling each other playfully.
"Yeah, you're right. They're such good friends to us, so they deserve to be happy. And we both know they'll be happiest when they are finally together," Mimi replied, snaking her arm around Matt's waist. "Plus," she added cheerfully, "this whole plan will be loads of fun to pull off!"
"That's true," Matt agreed. "So, one last review of the plan, after your parents go to bed at around 11:00, you suggest that we play Truth or Dare. When it's Sora's turn, I'll dare her to drink a bottle of Niagra—"
Mimi continued, "Yeah and after that, I'll quickly say that we should play Spin the Bottle, using the empty Niagra bottle. Then the Niagra will take effect and Sora won't be able to keep her hands off Tai. With some luck, Tai and Sora will be together before sunrise!"
"Our plan's totally perfect!" Matt exclaimed contentedly, "Just like you."
Mimi flashed him a brilliant smile before giving him an affectionate kiss.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllll
After their little love fest, Mimi got up, not noticing her smudged lipstick. She announced to her friends, "We'll watch a movie while I wait for my parents to fall asleep. Okay, moment of truth, and no fighting—what do you guys want to watch?"
There was instant bedlam as all the teens shouted out their suggestions.
"Action!" yelled Davis. "A Jackie Chan flick would be cool!"
"Let's watch a romance comedy!" shouted Yolei. "Something like Miss Congeniality would totally rule!"
"No! I don't want to watch some dumb chick flick!" exclaimed Davis, ready for yet another shouting spar with Yolei.
As the two argued once again, Izzy said, "May I suggest we watch a science fiction movie. I've been dying to see Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace."
"Izzy," Joe cut in, "correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just watch that movie two days ago?"
"Yes," Izzy replied, "but I'm trying to figure out the avionics of the spacecrafts in the movie. If I watch it approximately 17.56 times, I should be able to perfect the technology of the fighter planes they have..."
Mimi shook her head in frustration. "Come on," she said irritably. "Can't we even pick out a movie to watch without there being an argument?"
"Yeah, really," Sora agreed. "I don't know how we ever survived in the DigiWorld with the way everyone fights about everything.
"Well," Matt suggested, "how's about we watch a scary movie? I've been dying (A/N: I know, lame pun) to see The Exorcist."
"Ooh! Scary!" Mimi flirted. "If we see that, I might need someone big and strong to hold on to. But wherever will I find a guy like that?" she asked innocently.
"He's right in front of you, gorgeous." Matt answered openly, taking her in his arms and kissing her neck. Mimi giggled, and once again, they began making out.
"Geez, do these two ever quit?" asked Tai, staring at them in disbelief.
Sora was watching them too. "Not that I know of," she responded, "but, they are in love, you know."
"Yeah, I guess you'd be an expert in love."
"What do mean?"
Tai explained, "You've got the Crest of Love and all."
"Oh, yeah, well...," Sora began, then paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts together. "Love's a confusing thing, even for the bearer of the Crest of Love. Even though I should know more about love than most people, the truth is I'm just as lost and confused sometimes, and—" Sora stopped suddenly, realizing that Tai was staring
at her intensely.
"Uh, Tai? You okay?" she asked uncertainly.
"Huh?" he said, finally tearing his eyes from her. "Just thinking about what you said," he replied quickly.
"Oh."
"Wait, I have an idea," Tai said. Then he got up on a chair and yelled, "Hey, everyone, listen up—"
Tai always has a way of getting attention and giving out orders. Sora thought affectionately. He really is a great leader—
"Since this is Sora's birthday sleepover," he continued, "she should get to pick the what movie we should watch."
All eyes were on Sora. She lowered her head to think for a moment because she wasn't used to having to be the leader and deciding things for the group. Then she thought of the perfect movie to suit everyone's needs.
"Okay, guys, I've got it," Sora began. "But tell me, will anyone mind if we go to the movie theater, instead of watching here?" she asked, scanning their faces. Everyone shook their heads.
"Good. Then everything's perfect. We'll walk down to the theater to see The Mummy Returns," she explained.
"It's got everything you guys want: action, romance, comedy, horror—"
"But wait," Izzy interrupted, "it doesn't have science fiction."
"Yeah, I know. However, it does have killer special effects. So you can study that for tonight, can't you?" Sora said smoothly.
"Yes, you're right. Prodigious! I'll just go on the Net and get the show times. One moment—" Izzy paused. "Okay, I've got the times. It's 6:30 pm right now and their next showing is at 7:00 pm. Also, the movie is 2 hours and 20 minutes long."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" T.K. asked. "Everyone grab their wallets, and let's head out!"
As the group stepped outside, a gentle breeze blew at them. Sora shivered slightly. Maybe I should run inside and grab a jacket. she thought. But she didn't have to because—
"Sora, are you cold?" Tai asked worriedly. "Do you want my jacket?"
Sora accepted his jacket gratefully. It smelled like her favorite cologne, Nautica.
This feels so right. Sora thought happily.
While they were walking, Jun ran into Davis.
"Davis, you little freak! Watch where you're going!" Jun scowled angrily.
"Shut up, Jun! You're the one who ran into me!' Davis shot back.
"That 's beside the point!" she yelled. Then she saw Matt. Her expression changed from anger to pleasure. "Hi Matt!" she said in a voice that was too cheerful (I'm talking psycho-cheerful). "Where are you guys going?" She eyed Mimi, who's arm was linked with Matt's, suspiciously.
"Oh, uh, well, we're going to...," Matt sweatdropped.
"We're going to the mall!" Davis interrupted suddenly.
"Cool! I'll meet you guys there later!" Jun hurried off, no doubt, to put on her best clothes to impress Matt.
"Davis, that was cold," Sora remarked.
"Hey, I just saved everyone from a major party-crasher! You should be grateful!" Davis retorted.
"Well, I am!" Matt exclaimed. "There's no way I would sit through a two hour movie with her beside me!"
Everyone laughed and continued walking.
Soon they arrived at the theater. After buying their tickets and snacks, they entered the designated theater and discovered a slight problem—
lllllllllllllllllllllllllll
What is this "slight problem", you ask? It's really lame, but I had to end with a cliffhanger. Anyways, Chapter Three will be up soon. I hope you're enjoying this story!
By the way, I know the movies in this chapter are pretty dated (like 2001) but if I changed them, I would have to do some massive rewriting of the next chapter...which wouldn't be fun…
And as always, please read and review—after all, positive and/or constructive reviews are the best cure for Writer's Block! (heehee, I made that up…but who knows? It could be true!)
